WWE RAW 2002 (HCTP Style)- Work In Progress

[SLX]

I shall remain quiet about the greater details of this, but i'm working with DegenerationX69. New poly hacking technique to be employed, it should go into the game looking just like what you see here.

Comments for improvements please. I've only used 42 of the 90 polygons i'm allowed to use, and i used simple geometry.
Announce table will come from the in-game version, so no need to model it entirely. Any stage-side details you guys want to see? Keep things simple, but if can be made with simple shapes, then fire way.

Looking for basically any improvements and additions I can throw at this.

Older pics from different angles:

There is a slight alpha channel glitch on the far left side of the stage, where it goes like this: /|
It seems to be caused by an odd setting in my material editor of 3ds max, and i haven't been able to make it totally go away. It won't be visible in the final release of the arena, which will be using the same png textures as usual.

You never fail to amaze me. Great work as always!

 

[SLX]

Thanks man

how the hell do you do this, I know you explained it but still? And this is No Mercy still or what am I looking at here?

A textured model in Autodesk 3ds Max.

The model itself has very simple geometry consisting mostly of box shapes, textured to look extremely high res. Dx69's poly point mod hacking method (used for his HIAC code) will be used to reconstruct the model using polygons in the game, and the textures will then be mapped to the reconstructed model.

This is what the final product is expected to look like. All lighting will be baked into the textures, because N64 games do not have Hardware Transform & Lighting. In other words, its faked.

it looks absolutely fantastic!

Man SLX I could use this type of technique for my Nitro 99 arena that I have been wanting for years. This quite honestly is the most efficient entrance stage that I have ever seen.

 

[ERI619]

Holy Shit,it looks fucking awesome.

 

[SLX]

This is the final version. May get a slight enhancement, but I have finally tweaked my lighting, and used a production renderer.

 

[dbs64]

Sick, Sick, Sick!

 

[AKI Man]

Well WTF!

SLX bro, this is epic. I know nothing about arena modding/hacking but this has just made me mark out!

Amazing.

 

[Deleted User]

[chikaraboy]
